THE COMPLETE GARDEN PLAN 
IS BEST SEEN FROM THE AIR 
{Above) Seen from 
an airplane, the gar¬ 
den of “Knollwood”, 
the home of Mr. 
Charles I. Hudson, at 
East Norwich, Long 
Island, presents the 
full beauty of its Ital¬ 
ian plan, taken from 
designs brought from 
Italy in the time of 
Franqois I. The first 
terrace is a blue gar¬ 
den, and each plot be¬ 
low has its own color 
scheme surrounded 
by hedges. Hiss & 
Weekes, architects 
(Left) In the older 
days, a garden had 
its portrait sketched 
in what was called a 
bird’s-eye view. The 
fashionable garden of 
today has its photo¬ 
graph taken from a 
hovering air plan e. 
This lovely garden at 
“Meudon”, the home 
of Mr. William G. 
Guthrie, at Locust 
Valley, Long Island, 
is planted with a 
great variety of ever¬ 
greens. C. P. II.
